How To Trade in Your Golf Clubs
1 – Get in touch with our trade-in experts at 01675 489 918 or drop us a message through the Enquiry Form to receive a personalised quote and valuation for your clubs. We recommend taking time to review our Condition Guides, as our trade-in team will rely on them to help you accurately assess the condition of your clubs and determine an accurate valuation.

This quote will include your personal information and the specifics of the clubs you’re trading in, including their condition, the agreed valuation, and any additional bonus value. You’ll receive this trade-in quote via email, giving you the opportunity to review and confirm it before our team organises a FREE return process.
3 – When we receive your returned clubs, our trade-in team will inspect their condition in accordance with the previously agreed valuation and then proceed with the trade-in process.
4 – Once your quote has been validated, our team will reach out to you to confirm the acceptance of your returned clubs and guide you through the process of placing your new order using the trade-in credit.

Our FAQ's
Everything you need to know about our Golf club trade-in service.
Our team of trade-in specialists is extensively trained to deliver precise market rate valuations. They are well-equipped to guide you in accurately assessing the condition of your clubs, following our Condition Guides. Before seeking a quote and valuation for your clubs, kindly ensure that their condition does not fall under the 'Unacceptable' category.
In order to secure a precise valuation for your clubs, our team will need comprehensive details regarding their condition and the full specifications, which include: manufacturer, model, dexterity, loft, set configuration, shaft type, grip type, and the presence of a head-cover. Additionally, any custom fit options, such as length, lie angle, and grip thickness, should be provided for a more accurate assessment.
While we do provide valuations for a wide range of golf clubs, it's important to note that not all equipment may qualify for a trade-in. Some brands, features, or conditions may not meet our criteria for acceptance, and our team will be available to inform you if any of your clubs fall into this category.
The entire process, from the moment you accept the valuation, may take up to 7 working days. This duration encompasses the time required to organise the free return of your clubs, conduct a condition verification, and process your new order using the trade-in credit.
Should your golf clubs not meet the condition grade as stated in the trade-in quote, we will inform you of a revised valuation for your approval. If the revised valuation is not satisfactory, a return shipping fee of £4.99 will be applied to send your clubs back to you.
If you need further information, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Trade-In team.
